Eleven Essay
The book “Eleven” we are reading by Sandra Cisneros is about a girl Rachel who has a terrible birthday. She has a bad birthday because she got an ugly red sweater that was not hers. In my opinion, I think that Rachel is credible because the three things that she does that are credible are that she is very shy, she doesn’t stand up for herself, and she gets stuck with an ugly sweater.
Dear Mother,
I really want a dog! I always wanted one since I was a toddler.
I want to show you that I can be responsible and every body
In the house. It will also to be usefull because we can use
The dog as a guard dog and did you know that it’s a 67%
Chance that we can get robbed . !!WOW!! and I can get an
Exercise .
I want to show every that I can be responsible with anything I want people to trust me with anything they give me . I want trust from this family I feel that this family thinks that any thing I touch I break I want to build that trust. I think that a dog in the house can help us by not getting robbed all the time. Because the robbers will think that the dog will bite and they will go away and it will ruin there plans. I also want a dog because I will amit that im a little chubby so if I take the dog for a walk I can loose some wait.
I know that you’re concern about the dog but trust me I will take care of it twenty four-seven. The presants that the dog will leave in the back yard don’t worry I’ll take care of that because I’m going to show that I can take care of a dog and that I can be responsible. Ok I know that you’re concernd of the money but don’t worry I got it all coverd I’m gonna mak a car wash. If the dg smell’s I will make it take a bath.
Character credibility is when a character in the story is acting like a real person whould act. In the story beky and the wheels and the break boys written by james berry a girl named beky wants a bike , but her mother disagrees with the idea becky is acredible character because of how she acts, how she feels, and what she says.
First of all becky is credible because she begs her mom for what she wants a bike as beky says over and over I told my mom I wanted abike she really wantsa ProProxy-Connection: keep-alive Cache-Control: max-age=0 roxy-Connection: keep-alive Cache-Control: max-age=0 oxy-Connection: keep-alive Cache-Control: max-age=0 Connection: keep-alive Cache-Control: max-age=0 ke more than anything so she pieads her momthis proves that she is a realistic character
Becky keeps asking her mom for a bike. Becky says to herself, “Over and over I told my mom I wanted a bike.” A while later tells her mother, “I still want to have a bike badly.” In order to get what she wants, Becky thinks she has to ask several times and give reasons for how feels towards the item. This shows Becky is believable because many kids love begging for things and the get them
Finally another reason that Becky is credible chracter is because she always fought with her best friend. As an example Becky thinks, “For the first time me and Shirnette had a real fight because of what I hated most.” Shirnette wanted to get back at Becy because Becky put a centipede up her shirt so she got even by putting a cockroach in Beckys blouse. This proves that Becky is a realistic character because a lot of best friends
